Domaine Duvert, Mâcon Prissé 2024

This eponymous estate was founded by Anne-Sophie and David Duvert in 2023. However, the journey began decades before, in 2003, when they first began planting vines and slowly building their vision. With their own domain in their future dreams, they began by selling grapes to the local co-op, eventually affording to build their own cave, and begin their conversion to organic viticulture – achieving certification in 2018. They are now the proud owners of 23 hectares across the Mâconnais, producing only whites and celebrating the first vinification in their own cellar in 2023!

2025 sees the Duvert estate increase from 20 to 23 hectares, and the couple working across Bourgogne Aligoté, Mâcon-Villages, Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé. The undulating hills of southern Burgundy are home to a mixture of clay and limestone soils, which along with their winemaking techniques, have aided in crafting concentrated and luscious styles of wine. It is also good to note that they have begun experimenting with biodynamic practices also.

In the cellar, they work with steel tanks for fermentation, before moving wines into a mixture of steel, fûts, demi-muids and concrete eggs for ageing. They work with long, gentle pressings in a pneumatic press and allow the wines to go through a natural fermentation, as well as malolactic fermentation. Ageing is done on the fine lees.
